Golden Ring (feat. Joe Moore)

In a pawn shop in Chicago On a sunny summer day A couple gazes at the wedding Rings there on display She smiles and nods her head As he says, "Honey, that's for you It's not much, but it's the best that I can do" Golden rings with one tiny little stone Waiting there for someone to take you home By itself, it's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring In a little wedding chapel Later on that afternoon An old upright piano plays That old familiar tune Well tears roll down her cheeks Happy thoughts run through her head As he whispers low, "With this ring, I thee wed" Golden rings with one tiny little stone Shining red now at last its found a home By itself, it's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring In a small two-room apartment As they fought their final round He says, "You won't admit it, But I know you're leavin' town" Well "One thing's that's for certain You don't love me anymore" She throws down the ring As she walks out the door Golden rings with one tiny little stone Cast aside like a love that's been gone By itself, it's just a cold metallic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring In a pawn shop in Chicago On a sunny summer day A couple gazes at the wedding Rings there on display Golden ring
